When I do the things I love I am made stronger and in this way I am free to do what I choose.

I am a strong person with a fervent passion. When I act on what I love to do, I am free. I can accomplish what I desire and feel powerful. I am confident that what I choose to do in my life is right for me. It does not matter if I am doing what everyone else is doing because I am not seeking to win a popularity contest.

I know that sometimes other people think I should do something else, but their words do not sway me. Others are free to give their opinion just as I am free to live my dream.  While I listen respectfully to others, I know what is right for me and I am empowered when I act on this.

I have the strength to express myself and my feelings in a healthy way. I can express my desire to do things differently. I will be strong and do things that feel good to me even if it is not popular.

Today I will put myself first and do what I love to do. I am strong and I am powerful. I control my own thoughts and actions. No one can take that away from me.

I am true to myself and love myself enough to do what I want to do.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Have I been true to myself today?
2. How have I put myself first?
3. How can I be respectful to others while still respecting my own desires?
